    The MET is the greatest man made place on Earth. Whenever I step inside, I remember again, who I am, and why I am on this planet. To enjoy and celebrate the beauty of this world, as seen thru the works of great artists.

    Biggest regret of my life was giving myself 2 hours to tour the museum. I knew it was famous and iconic but never imagined it's magnitude. I want to go back and spend the whole day there. That still wouldn't be enough. Absolutely amazing.

      You’d get museum fatigue; ideally spend several hours each time you visit so you can enjoy; I have visited many museums of the world, have the say that for the grand ones a well stocked cafe does make a difference, as you can stay the whole day. I remember I spent a day sauntering through the Musei Capitolini in Rome and the National South Korean Museum just because the layout allowed the visitors to rest and stay well-fed. The Vatican Museums on the other hand were horrendous in spite of the nice exhibits, they were not as “long hours friendly” as others.

    40 years ago I was a " cater waiter" for Martha Stewart and other high-end caterers. A few times we worked catered parties at the Met in the Temple of Dendur ( spelling? ). It was breathtaking to be around this ancient stone temple. Events in this room were very limited, due to the fact that they can not have too many people around the temple.

    The top museums of the world must include the Louvre in Paris , the Prado in Madrid, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Vatican Museums in Rome, the State Hermitage in St. Petersburg, the British Museum in London, the Smithsonian Museums in Washington, the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, and the Met in New York. The very best works of art can be found in these places.

This museum can teach me a lot of history and appreciate extraordinary and abstract beauty. I really like the work of Ch'ien Hsuan from China, as well as some of the status of Egypt and Iraq.

To this day that showing formed my art foundation and Picasso and his works remain my most elemental reference.

    The Euphronio's Krater had to be send back to Italy. I m an Italian and I love art and archaeology. I know about the bla-bla's of link between the arctifact and with territory, meaning of ownership, political influence between countries etc., but at the end of the day what counts it is enjoy the art work, its usufruct in space and time by the public, the breath of fresh air to see a masterpiece alone, not between 600 other vases that pollutes the eye of the beholder. It was in New York ( where I saw it in 2002)? Leave it there!There are many, many things that could have be done with the excuse (in the name) of this Krater, meanwhile in Italy it is just another masterpiece to confound the soul of turists or the subject of some gossips.
